"W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Gaeron's eyes widened in shock as Riovanni suddenly dropped to his knees, facing them with a look of remorse and humility.

"I was aware that it may have been too late, but I still held onto the hope that you could find find it in your heart to forgive me." "I'm not sure I understand. There's no need for forgiveness because we don't hold any resentment towards you. You've been an exceptional leader, and your father's actions are not a reflection of you."

"Your honesty was truly courageous, and we saw it firsthand when we read your statement in the newspaper. It takes bravery to be honest with your people like that." Gaeron's deep voice echoed through the room, causing him to stir and open his eyes. The Alpha's large hand was extended towards him, a gesture of acceptance that he quickly took hold of and allowed Gaeron to pull him upright from his kneeling position. "You are not like your greedy and self-centered father. Please continue to work hard for the betterment of our country." "But I was planning to give the throne back to you as soon as I can, Riovanni said as he settled on the sofa, wiping the corner of his eyes. The i idea seemed impossible to me.

However, when he abdicated and you ascended to power, we abandoned that plan because it was clear that you had a genuine concern for the well-being of your citizens. Gaeron smiled, realizing how different Riovanni was from his father, and that really put him at ease. "Moreover, I believe we are unworthy of the throne. I was unable to protect my people because of my misplaced trust in a traitorous individual." "But-Riovanni tried to protest but the Siegren interjected.
"Just keep the throne and form a genuine alliance. This would greatly improve the strength of our country," he said before exchanging glances with Helga who smiled at him and nodded. "Also, we were going to ask my in-laws to come to Verdentia and live with us instead." "Huh?" Hellen and Caeron's eyes widened, not expecting that "Please, take your time to consider. I don't want you to feel pressured by this unexpected offer." Siegren explained, placing his hand on top of Helga's, "You see, my wife is pregnant, and I want to do everything I can for her. I hope you can be by our side to offer your support and I guidance during this special time, "Y-Your're pregnant?"
